In the report, the analyst notes:

"CRBC maintains a strong liquidity position due to its on-balance sheet liquidity sources and very stable funding base comprised of approximately 73% deposits, 16% long-term debt, 10% equity, and 1% short-term liabilities. CRBC also has access to high levels of untapped liquidity through collateral-based borrowing capacity provided by portions of both the loan and investment securities portfolios. Additionally, money market investments and securities available-for-sale could be sold for cash to provide liquidity, if necessary. CRBC continues to maintain a strong capital position, and its regulatory capital ratios are above 'well-capitalized' standards, as evidenced by the following key capital ratios.

"CRBC announced last month that it received a notice from The Nasdaq Stock Market stating that the minimum bid price of the Company's common stock was below $1.00 per share for 30 consecutive business days and that the Corporation was therefore not in compliance with Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5450(a)(1). The notification letter has no effect at this time on the listing of the CRBC's common stock on The Nasdaq Global Select Market. ... The notification letter states that the Corporation will be afforded 180 calendar days, or until March 22, 2010, to regain compliance with the minimum closing bid price requirement."
